undefined | April feels like Feb as thunder and lightning keep mercury cool April 9, 2026 – Lucknow experienced a surprisingly cold day, with strong winds, thunder and light showers that made the weather feel more like February than early spring. The state meteorological department recorded a maximum temperature of 27 °C, roughly 10 °C below the normal for this time of year, matching the average peak temperature for February. The minimum dipped to 18.8 °C, just under a degree cooler than usual, and only 0.2 mm of rain was measured by 5:30 p.m. Meteorologists explained that the unusual weather resulted from a combination of a western disturbance over Jammu and Kashmir and a cyclonic circulation over north‑west Uttar Pradesh. Both systems are expected to weaken, leading to clear, cloudy skies on Thursday with temperatures rising to about 30 °C during the day and 17 °C at night. The pattern should continue to improve, with dry conditions forecast for western UP and only isolated thundershowers possible in the eastern parts of the state. Rainfall was not uniform across the region; Muzaffarnagar saw the highest accumulation, recording 10.6 mm of rain, while most of the state remained dry. The meteorological outlook suggests a gradual return to typical early‑April temperatures over the coming days, with the weather stabilising and no further significant precipitation expected.
